More about this scene
Described by Leland as 'a great long town', Marazion, close by Penzance, was in the Middle Ages a sizeable settlement of Jews smelting tin. This may account for its older alternative name of Market-Jew. The town was also renowned in Victorian times for its cultivation of a particularly delicious species of turnip.

They demolished the shops on the left cos it was so narrow, then built the bypass! The Silvermine gift shop is there now.
